We Throwback The Truth,The Struggles our fellow Black queens went through! Twenty year-old Mary Turner (m.n. Hattie Graham), 8 months pregnant at the time and whose husband had been killed in this "lynching rampage" on Sunday, May 19th, publicly objected to her husband's murder. She also had the audacity to threaten to swear out warrants for those responsible. Those "unwise remarks," as the area papers put it, enraged locals. Consequently, Mary Turner fled for her life only to be caught and taken to a place called Folsom's Bridge on the Brooks and Lowndes Counties' shared border. To punish her, at Folsom's Bridge the mob tied Mary Turner by her ankles, hung her upside down from a tree, poured gasoline on her and burned off her clothes. One member of the mob then cut her stomach open and her unborn child dropped to the ground where it was reportedly stomped on and crushed by a member of the mob. Her body was then riddled with gunfire from the mob. Later that night she and her baby were buried ten feet away from where they were murdered. The makeshift grave was marked with only a "whiskey bottle" with a "cigar" stuffed in its neck. #Blackhistory #maryturner #Know #harshreality #blacktruth #stopbleaching #stopbleach #melanin #notoskinlightening #beproud #tbt

"You were afraid to nurse your young lest fallen breast offend your master's sight and he should flee to firmer loveliness. And passed them, your children, unto me. Flesh that was your flesh and blood that was your blood drank the sustenance of life from me. And as gave suckle I knew nurse my own child's enemy. I could have lied told you your child was fed till it was dead of hunger. But could I could not find the heart to kill orphaned innocence. For as I fed I smiled and burped and gurgled with content. And as for color knew no difference. Yes, in that first while , I kept your sons and daughters alive, but when they grew strong in blood and bone that was if milk you thought them to hate me. Put your decay in their hearts and upon their lips so that strength that was of my self turned and spat upon me, despoiled my daughters, and killed my sons. You know I speak true.

"I had both of my kids by age 18. I was bashed by so many people. I was talked about and looked down on. They said I wouldn't finish high school, I did. They never mentioned college because they didn't picture me getting past a high school diploma. Well look at US now." - Ashley Fulton Tag a friend! #Blackqueens #graduation2015 #inspirtaion #inspire #wow #beautywithbrains #nothingtheycandotostopus #queen.
